Not everyone loves Brighton Marina and not everyone loves chain restaurants. But I love it down there and although I love our independent restaurants across Sussex some of our chain restaurants provide amazing food and provide more jobs and places for us all to go. I wanted to try out the new menu at Prezzo as I had not been for years, the last time being at the Lewes branch.
And speaking of jobs, I wish I had got his name now to publicly thank him, as the young man who looked after us was such a joy. He was one of those happy people who makes you smile and have an all the more enjoyable experience. He told us about how the staff had the chance to try out the new menu and therefore had a great knowledge of it all.
If you haven’t been, Prezzo is an Italian restaurant largely offering pizza and pasta. But they have lots of side dishes to choose from too and the arancini, as recommended, is worth a visit on its own. It is made with mushrooms, leeks and mascarpone “gently stirred through risotto, coated in breadcrumbs and fried until golden.
It is then served with mayonnaise and crisp sage leaves. That description doesn’t do them justice though. They are a savoury, slightly crispy taste sensation.
